the girl who took a selfie WHILE DRIVING, caused her own death, so did the KIDS that died while climbing those high towers that are off limits to humans. some of these deaths were caused by stupdity, some.

Who thought it was a good idea to have Adam do this video? He sounds so out of place.

I lost my girlfriend of 10yrs and my bestfriend for 27yrs on the same day on the same road in two separate incidents in '07 The last thing she said to me was that she loved me😢 in the blink of an eye you can lose everything

I am so fucking sick of people having to post every moment of their life on social media. why does everyone need to forfeit their privacy? why does everyone think people care what they had for dinner? people are afraid that if they don't catch a moment on film for everyone to see, then it basically didn't happen?? they end up missing out on the moment altogether. now this chick couldn't just listen to the song and enjoy. she had to notify everyone that she was happy. and she could NOT wait and look what happened﻿.

The two hugging technicians literally broke my heart,every moment of life is a gift and this just made me thankful.

playing with your phone when driving is natural selection and karma for risking everyones life around you you deserve to be taken out instead of a family full in a car or a bus of innocent people

I have the feeling from the tone of his voice, that this list effected Adam at a rather deeply personal level.

3:58 – Omg, why people believe in this conspiracy theory, those were Ukrainian military, not Pro-Russian separatists, spend some time in the internet for facts please.

Dennis Young

Like any garbage media, they've managed to plug in some good political lies within the series of stories. The pit that the villagers were standing in was obviously dug by a back hoe, not by the villagers. The flight over the Ukraine was not shot down by Russian backed separatists. In fact, the investigation revealed that it was set up by the Ukrainians who over threw the elected govt. The air traffic controller who confirmed this was murdered.

First Last

Plane was shot down by pro-russian separatists? You made inquiries or smth, or is this ur personal opinion? Cuz that sure sounds like you're telling the fact, when there is no official proof of something backing it. Also, russain soldiers making people dig their graves and blowing people with explosives, not a single proof included. Why are you people always hating ALL russians for no reason, demonizing them? Go full racist, tell us that russians are subhumans and do not deserve to live. Russians are definitely all communists, crazy murderers and rapist, be careful.

Number "5" Petra and Gary Slok. Please get your facts right. The aircraft in question was not shot down by Pro-Russian seperatists. Although nothing has been proven it is widely believed that it was the Ukranian Army that shot it down as they were the only people to be in possesion of the type of Rocket needed to reach the aircrafts altitude. It makes me wonder if any of the other information in this video is correct....???

Some serious stuff, even more proof that even when you think your safe is when everything goes horribly wrong, may the gods have mercy on these souls, bless them and their families, just a reminder cell phones are too a distraction please don't use any phones while driving, we've seen what happens, be smart the more people alive the better, don't treat life so lightly!!

Wow, ive seen the video of bud dweyer, never knew he was being framed. Pretty sad, as his last words to people trying to get him to stop/intervene was, "stay back this can hurtsome1".

Anyone familiar, or interested with why Robert "Budd" Dwyer chose to kill himself during a public broadcast on television should really watch the 2010 Documentary on the event, "Honest Man: the Life of R. Budd Dwyer". It goes into detail about his life, the kind of man he was and features many testimonies from, people who knew Budd, eyewitnesses to the now infamous event and even some conspirators and those responsible for pushing this decent man to commit such a brutal and entirely undeserved act upon himself.

My wife and I met our new neighbor, a young dude who is one of these wind generator engineers, when we found his ID on the sidewalk. I was shocked out of my shoes at how big the kid was when he showed up to claim it. He was at least a foot taller than my wife as they stood side by side talking to me and my wife is 5'9". He wasn't huge, think more hockey player build but the cat was still *big*! I don't know why, but when they first started putting these in our area I had an idea of little and wiry being a bonus for the job? Up and down those skinny ladders, spider walking on the blades? I thought being a little guy would be the preferred physique for the job? We happened to meet not long after this photo related to these young men's terrible deaths hit the internet. He said something goes haywire with the *electric* motors, how ironic, intended to regulate the blades and they just keep going till they burn up or the blades collapse, instead (Am I remembering that explanation correctly? My memory has been complete shit, lately.).

This just shows that humans are not invincible. You never know, you can’t expect to wake up the next day and expect to live until the next one.

So the ' unidentified chechen villagers' at 3:30 dug there own graves??? The four sides of this rectangle are absolutely perfect, but it was done by some humans with hand tools??? Far too much suffering in Eastern Europe to make crap like this for profit. Im sure the rest of the video is beyond questioning though...

**edited for punctuation. Contrary to another popular channel on YouTube that's specifically known for Top Lists, this one addressed a grim subject with incredibly fair and noble taste. Good job, gents of WhatCulture. Many blessings to you, and have a good day. I've already hugged my mom today with this as my reminder to cherish every second I have on this planet, so be sure to say hi and say "I love you" to someone you guys each love. :)

Very eerie and of course very sad. The narrator's voice is very difficult to hear because his tone goes from high to low, too low at times.

I have a hard time feeling bad for kids that die cause they wanted internet fame so badly that they do backflips on ledges or dangle from towers. I don't wish death on anyone and I feel for the families. But is attention THAT important to you.

As much as I enjoy the vapid videos about movie goofs and cultural insanity I genuinely believe we need more videos like this. People need to be reminded that actions have consequences. And people need to be reminded that there really is evil in this world. Great job, very respectfully done.
